Gods, she wished they were alone so that she could scratch her nails down his chest. That always drives him toward the edge.
Draco loves it when she marks him. It was like a badge of honor for him. He marked her just as much for everyone to see she was his and his alone.
Her growly Alpha mate was a bit possessive where she was concerned. Truth be told, she was too, where he was concerned.
Athena had to admit the back-and-forth insults between Leo and Sheila were comical to her. It was clear as could be that Leo couldn’t stand the woman.
“Look, it’s obvious the Maplewoods want an alliance with us. They want a truce. You mating the human who was promised to the Alpha’s son, the one who is not your true mate, so therefore no true mate bond, is a clear call for a war between the two packs. Right now, they are the stronger pack,” Sheila yelled out, causing the room to go silent.
“Who the fuck are you to say our mating isn’t the true mate bond?” Draco’s voice went low and deadly at his question.
“She’s a fucking human…”
Athena jumped at the yelp that sounded from several people in the room. She could feel the anger coming from Draco in waves.
She used one hand to rub his thigh while she gripped his cock with the other. She decided to send him over the edge.
“Enough! Everyone out of my fucking office.Now!”
As soon as she heard the door click, she was pulled from under the desk, picked up and placed on Draco’s desk. Soon as her ass was planted on the desk, her dress was thrown up to her waist and her panties tore from their spot on her body.
In one thrust, Draco’s hard, solid steel cock was pounding into her hard, fast, and furiously. All she could do was hold on for the ride.
“Mine.”
Athena heard both Shadow and Draco’s growled word in her head. She reached up with her hand and repeated the word back to him.
Draco gripped her throat in his hand as he pounded her pussy like he was a man possessed. She reached up and gripped his shirt and pulled him to her.
She leaned up as best as she could and bit into his jaw as she repeated his word, “mine.”
She didn’t know what possessed her to do so, but ripped open Draco’s shirt, exposing his chest, not caring she was sending buttons flying everywhere. As she felt her orgasm fast approaching, she bit his shoulder and marked him the best way she knew how.
When she felt Draco’s teeth sink in her flesh, she came, her orgasm the hardest its ever been. Her body shook from its intensity.
“Mine.”
“Mine!” she repeated mentally.
“We are one. Our bond is officially sealed. Only death can break our mate bond. Even in death, I will follow you. We are eternal.”
“One heart.”
Athena released her hold on Draco and leaned back to look into his eyes. What she saw there made all the fear and doubt she’d ever had about their mating and relationship melt away. She knew then and there she was in love with this man with every fiber of her being.
“I-I know you don’t feel the same way yet. But I wanted you to know, I love you. I know it’s foolish to say that this soon, but I can’t help how I feel.”

She loved him.Draco stared into Athena’s beautiful blue-green eyes and drowned in their depths.
To him, love was a simple word. It didn’t come close to describing how he felt about her.
She was the sun to his moon. The air he breathed day in and day out.
A simple touch from her calmed the storms that raged in his head. All he could do was stare at his world. His everything.
